Its that time of year again, I can feel it!
The stores are already stocking their shelves and floors with Christmas trees,
overpriced but beautifully adorned.
Christmas CD's are making their appearance
Christmas songs are making their way into my repertoire of Songs-I-Sing-When-I'm-On-My-Own
I'm already thinking of Christmas presents to give to the kiddies, big and small included
Christmas puts me in a lot of moods and here are some of them..
Christmas always gets me in a giving mood...
~grins~ I can't help but blow my budget at Christmas. This year maybe I'll give everyone Christmas cards and then put all their names in one hat and pull out three and give only three great presents this year. I'm always giving half baked lousy boring presents ~laughs~ maybe this year I can give presents that are really worth something. Not like bath towels or a Cinderella Video or God fobid Pillows!
Christmas always puts me in a singing mood...
When I was in high school. I always joined the Christmas Carollers, dividing my time between them and the St Simon Chapel's Choir singers. I loved singing in harmony and Christmas songs are just made that way. When sung in harmony it sends chills up my spine in a good way.
Christmas CDs to help with the season :
Jim Reeves Christmas (old favourite of the family)
Mariah Carey Merry Christmas (personal favourite)
New Kids on the Block Christmas Album (throwback from my childhood in the 90s)
Christmas always puts me in a sentimental mood...
Mariah Carey's Christmas Album tops the charts every year for me. Mariah is surely on fi-ah! (fire) *L* when she sings All I want for Christmas is you.
Christmas Memory : Me in Malaysia and my significant other is in Australia. Mariah really hit the nail on the head when she sang "I miss you, most at Christmas time, and I can get you...no no no no! Get you of my mind" I cired, then smiled of the times we were together, the early christmas we had. ~sighs~
Christmas Memory 2: Us kids having our own Christmas when our parents went to Bethlehem to have theirs. Then on the 27th, they came home and our family had Christmas dinner together. That was the best year. Two Christmasses in a year! Plus I had my first SEED outfit, beige pants with matching vest and a 100% white linen shirt.
Christmas always puts me into a drinking binge...
Oh goodness gracious. Being Kadazan just makes it an excuse to drink whenever there's cause and what bigger cause than to Celebrate Christmas? It'll be drinks at home (beer bought by dubious means, wrapped in black plastic bags and delivered to our doorstep) and then drinks with friends (at house parties), drinks at relatives houses, drinks at the clubs.. and it carries on til New Years eve!
Christmas always makes me appreciate my friends and family
Because they're there for moi when it matters most, physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually. I don't even care if they don't celebrate Christmas, I'll wish them the best when it's the time.
Tis the season to be jolly.
So, don you now your GAY apparel!
and have a falalalala la la la la time this year!

i remember *that* Bethlehem year bec i painted Mum's nails before they went/or was it when they came back??? Most of all, i remembered bec i had my hair done in loose curls, and Kevin (only 3 or 4 y/o that year) asked me as i hugged him: Where's Aunty Oly?
i was SO flattered.
mariah have been playing on my pc the day raya celebrations were over! now have to look for my miniature x'mas tree with over-sized decor! christmas is truly the best time of the year... christmas isn't christmas, till it happens in your heart (remember that carol?) :)
Christmas isn't Christmas til it happens in your heart,
Somewhere deep inside you, is where Christmas really starts!
So give your heart to Jesus, you'll discover when you do
That Christmas is really Christmas for you.
**I love that Carol!**
